        Anyway, I rang Nintendo to tell them what I thought. The women I spoke to said and I quote, "well it is a children's toy" so that's why they do it....lol!

        Anyway...I always thought that's what parental controls are for.
        What kind of customer service is that?

        You should have asked her why it has adult rated games on it if its a children's toy.

          But they mainly are childrens toys - its not the norm for adult men to own lots of video game consoles and have their life rotating around videogames....

              Its the 3am bit that had me chuckling...imagine after a proper night out and stumbling home with a kebab at 3:30am, thinking "i know i'll have a movie on", it would be comedy witnessing this happening to the uninformed.

              3am!!! lol.

              Netflix may aswell not bother lol.

                I don't even stay up past 11PM usually. How can I buy them then? LOL. Couldn't they have done like a credit card verification thing or something? This is like the Nintendo of the past where you couldn't have blood in games. Ugh.

                        I'm pretty sure most people know I'm not the most pro-Nintendo person on here so this may be a surprise, not J0e surprise like



                        Where to start. It is overpriced in tech terms no doubt, i would put it around the PS3/360 power as its said to be but not much more, having said it does not need to be. It looks current gen, it looks good enough.

                        I am pretty lucky in that my missus has an Ipad mini (so similar size screen to the game pad) and expectedly its leagues ahead in feel and quality (as is the nexus7) but it should be, I find the gamepad to be perfectly serviceable it's nice and the remote play is a great feature no doubt, It's a little flickery and that power cable is bloody short but its a great idea, it really is its very satisfying playing Mario while the missus is playing on Far Cry 3.

                        I have had no issues at all with the update, took less than an hour and found my router first time (Home Hub 3, Infinity) so I'm one of the lucky ones.

                        It shouldn't be called a Wii it's bugger all like a Wii and as Teddy said it feels more like a Cube or N64 even I know this one will never ever get a sensor bar plugged in it (unless I flog it )

                        i haven't played much but what I have it seems enjoyable, Zombi is first person dead rising and maybe its because I have not played a Mario in years I am enjoying it even though its in no way pushing the tech.

                        Im not sure i will keep it and I think if the price had been ?199 it would be a sure fire hit but I think there is a hell of a lot of confusion at retail the person selling me it thought it was a Wii controller not a new system. I think they need to sort that straight away as its not good.

                        Im generally positive about it so far but I still have a nagging feeling it may just be a snack consumed between Playstations/XBoxes much like the European Dreamcast was but if it gets a third or the software that machine got it will be money well spent.

                        First night (of ownership) review - Colour me surprised its pretty good

                            Menus are bloody slow mind reminds me of the new and improved playstation store but for everything still could be worse i guess

                              No analog triggers? How can this ever feel like a Gamecube? How are we supposed to play games that rely on analog triggers? You can forget a decent F-Zero on this thing then..

                                Even the Dreamcast had analog triggers, ffs. This has to be the most backwards thinking decision I've ever heard about.
